The Fifth amendment
The Fifth amendment also protects criminal defendants from having to testify if they may incriminate themselves through testimony. A witness may "plead the Fifth" and not answer if the witness believes answering the question may be self-incriminatory.
The amendment reads:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put on jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

How do currents move what effect do they have

Natasha2012 [34]

The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. These surface currents play an important role in moderating climate by transferring heat from the equator towards the poles.

Answer: All or nothing thinking

Explanation:

All-or-nothing thinking is one of several cognitive distortions, meaning automatic ways of regularly reading a circumstance that makes people not contemplate different approaches. It´s a negative thought process common within people dealing with panic disorders, anxiety, and depression.

All-or-nothing thinking leads to thinking only in extremes, in terms of success or failure, in a binary scheme that leads only to negative evaluations of ourselves and others.

Based on this information, which is the first change should Carl make to his monthly budget?

Korvikt [17]

Since Carl has to adjust his budget, due to having less money in hand than expected, he must adjust his "net" income.

To make this more clear, let's go through it a bit more. For example, Carl knew he was making $10 per hour. If he worked 15 hours a week, he assumed that his check would be written for $150 ($10 x 15 hours = $150).

He was correct that he "made" $150 dollars. This was his "gross" pay. Gross pay means the money you receive before taxes are taken out of your check.

Now that Carl knows that his check will not be written the the "gross" amount, but for the "net" amount (money paid after taxes and withholdings were taken out), he should adjust how much money he has to start with. Once he adjusts the money he "brings in", he can better understand how to budget and allocate his finances.

Where did the islamic religion originate? Explain 2 ways in which the Quran is important in the Islamic religion? Why was the de

sweet [91]

Answer:

It originated in Saudi Arabia in a very important city named Mecca. The Quran is a sacred text in Islam and is known as the word of God, and the word of God was given to the Prophet Muhammad through an Archangel named Gabriel. Another reason the Quran is so important in Islam, is because the Quran set the groundwork for Islam and serves as a guide today along with other sacred texts like the Hadith, think of the Quran as the Islamic bible. The development of Islam was considered controversial by many due to Islam spreading "by the sword" and that means through conquest. Keep in mind, it also spread through trade, pilgrimages, among other things.
